Scumbag God, I can see the entry of desire.

Shen Cuiping held Xiao Haotian tightly, her emotions gradually calming down.

She gently patted her grandson's back, then looked at the timid but concerned little Zhiyi beside her. Her heart softened, so she put Xiao Haotian down and reached out to hug little Zhiyi as well.

"Yi'er is also Grandma's good baby, and Grandma loves Yi'er the most." She kissed Xiao Zhiyi on the forehead.

Xiao Zhiyi was held in her grandmother's arms, feeling the warmth and love, and her originally tense little body slowly relaxed.

She quietly grabbed Shen Cuiping's clothes with her little hand and whispered, "Grandma... don't cry."

"Oh, Grandma, don't cry." Shen Cuiping wiped away her tears and tried to smile more gently. "With Tian'er and Yi'er here, Grandma will be happy from now on."

Chu Yiren stood aside, watching this scene, her eyes also slightly reddening.

She stepped forward, gently took Shen Cuiping's hand, and said softly, "Mom, I'm sorry to have reminded you of sad things. If Dad is watching from heaven, he will surely smile in his grave to see the Lin family thriving and having descendants."

Shen Cuiping grasped Chu Yiren's hand in return, and said with a smile through her tears, "Daughter-in-law! I'm overjoyed to see Tian'er and Yi'er."

"Mom won't let the past affect the present." She paused, then looked at each of her daughters-in-law in turn.

Her gaze swept over her daughters-in-law Zhou Mengyao, Mu Xueman, Zhao Lanshan, Huo Siyan, and Gu Ran, finally settling on Lin Lang. She spoke earnestly:

“Son, Mom knows you are capable and blessed to have so many wives who are devoted to you.”

"But you must remember, women are with you because they want you to treat them well. You can't be biased; you have to treat everyone well, understand?"

"Mom, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Lin Lang nodded solemnly. "I'm sincere towards each and every one of them."

Upon hearing this, all the concubines smiled.

Just then, Xiao Haoming tugged at Lin Lang's sleeve and whispered, "Father, can we go eat Grandma's delicious food now? I'm hungry."

“We’re hungry too! We want to eat something delicious that Grandma cooks herself.” The other children chimed in.

Shen Cuiping was amused by her grandchildren and laughed heartily.

"Grandma and your mothers and aunts have been busy in the kitchen all morning and have already cooked all the dishes. With so many people, we're cooking in one big pot, so the main point is to eat in a lively atmosphere. Let's eat!"

"Great!" the children cheered, crowding around Shen Cuiping as she walked toward the kitchen.

The concubines followed their mother-in-law, chatting and laughing as they walked toward the dining room. The whole family was even more lively than during the Lunar New Year.

Looking at the lively scene, Chu Yiren felt a warm glow in her heart.

She knew that the warmest home was one where her mother-in-law was still alive, and that a child's childhood was complete when their grandmother loved them.

Chu Yiren walked to Lin Lang's side, gently took his hand, and looked at his reddened eyes, saying, "Husband, you must be very happy that your mother-in-law has come back to life, right?"

Lin Lang's eyes were full of tenderness as he intertwined his fingers with Chu Yiren's and said, "Yes, it's not just me who's happy. Look how happy the children are to see their grandmother and be loved by her!"

Chu Yiren nestled into Lin Lang's arms and said with heartache, "Husband, Mother-in-law has had a hard life. We will take good care of her and let her enjoy her old age in peace."

"That's right." Lin Lang smiled.

"Let's go, honey, let's have dinner with Mom and the kids, celebrate properly, and welcome Mom back!"

"Okay." Lin Lang kissed Chu Yiren on the cheek.

The tycoon couple had just taken a few steps, hand in hand, when they heard the maid's voice behind them.

"Reporting to Master, a sixteen-year-old girl named Chen Nianlin has arrived outside the Lin residence. She claims to be your half-sister, carrying a suitcase, and says she has nowhere to go and has come to seek refuge with you."

Lin Lang stopped in his tracks upon hearing the voice, turned around abruptly, and asked in astonishment, "What did you say?"

The maid said weakly, "Master, a strange girl has come to the gate. She claims to be your half-sister and has come crying to acknowledge her."

Lin Lang's head buzzed as if it were about to explode!

He reflexively recalled that when he traveled back to 1996, before his parents' car accident, the system prompted him that the driver Chen Bin, who deliberately caused the car accident to kill in revenge, was because his wife Liu Xiaomei had cheated on him with Lin Lang's father.

After Chen Bin discovered that he had been cuckolded, that a paternity test revealed his daughter was not his biological child, and that she was the daughter he had raised for five years in place of Lin's father, realizing he had been unjustly wronged, he went completely mad and maliciously sought revenge by killing Lin.

Lin Lang never expected that his half-sister would actually come to his door.

In his previous life, Lin Lang was just an ordinary person, so there was no melodramatic scene of his father's illegitimate daughter coming to him, her brother, to claim kinship.

But in this life, he is the world's richest man. Since his father's illegitimate daughter has come to him with benefits to gain, he will naturally come to claim kinship.

Lin Lang, who was used to seeing big scenes, still took a deep breath at this moment, and was at a loss for what to do.

Lin Lang refused to admit it, and there was nothing his father's illegitimate daughter could do.

However, Lang Ge couldn't be that cold-blooded.

Once this half-sister is acknowledged, it will inevitably become a family scandal, over-interpreted by unscrupulous news media, with tabloid stories about the deceased father flying everywhere.

This will affect Lin Lang and his children.

Just as Lin Lang was weighing the pros and cons, Chu Yiren said, unable to hide her astonishment:

"Honey, what's going on? Your face suddenly looks so pale. Could it be that your father really had an illegitimate daughter before he passed away?"

Lin Lang did not answer, but looked at Chu Yiren with a troubled expression.

“Uh…” Chu Yiren understood Lin Lang’s tacit agreement and also sensed his predicament.

Surprised, Chu Yiren tentatively asked:

“Honey, if it’s inconvenient for you to refuse her in person, then I’ll play the bad guy and clean up the mess for you. I’ll give her some money to get rid of her and help you immigrate abroad.”

Just as Lin Lang was hesitating, a system notification sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Friendly reminder to the host, the 16-year-old girl Chen Nianlin who came to claim her family is indeed your father's illegitimate daughter! Her name Chen Nianlin was given to her by her mother Liu Xiaomei, which is a homonym for Nianlin."

"After Chen Bin died in a car accident with his host's parents, Liu Xiaomei remarried less than two years later and had a son with her second husband."

"After her mother Liu Xiaomei remarried, her stepfather did not treat Chen Nianlin well. Except for holidays, Chen Nianlin lived with her widowed grandmother."

"A few months ago, Liu Xiaomei passed away from breast cancer. Her mother was unable to accept the loss of her daughter and also died of depression due to excessive grief."

"After her maternal grandmother passed away, her uncle and aunt legally inherited the property, but because Chen Nianlin's household registration was at her stepfather's house, they refused to raise Chen Nianlin on the grounds that they were not her guardians."

“Now Chen Nianlin has lost her source of income and lives with her stepfather and brother with whom she has no affection. This is not only because it is inconvenient for a girl to grow up, but also because her stepfather is unwilling to pay for her schooling and refuses to give her living expenses, telling her to go to her maternal uncle and aunt.”

"In the case of homelessness, the only thing to do is to follow the mother's instructions before she died of cancer. When there is no way out or when a great disaster occurs, you can take a close-up photo of your mother Liu Xiaomei and the host's father, as well as a letter that Liu Xiaomei wrote before she died, to find the host and recognize your family."

Hearing this, Lin Lang couldn't help but soften his heart.

Regardless, her father's illegitimate daughter was still his sister.

A sixteen-year-old girl in the prime of her life, once she drops out of school and ends up on the streets, can only become a sex worker and be corrupted by the young men in internet cafes.

Liu Xiaomei was no fool. Before she died, she left a will instructing her daughter to bet that Lin Lang, as the world's richest man, would help this half-sister she had never met in a time of crisis.

Clearly, Liu Xiaomei gambled on human nature and won.

Lin Lang felt pity for her; after all, he was so rich that a little money slipping through his fingers would be enough for his sister to live a life of wealth and luxury.

In this situation, how could Lang Ge be so cold-blooded as to disregard the life or death of his half-sister?

After reading it aloud, Lin Lang looked at Chu Yiren with a solemn expression and said, "Let's meet this Chen Nianlin first before making a decision."

"Alright." Chu Yiren gave the maid a wink, then took Lin Lang's arm and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

Lin Lang sighed with some difficulty. He didn't know if his mother, Shen Cuiping, would accept his father's illegitimate daughter.

After all, Chen Nianlin's appearance would touch a raw nerve with Shen Cuiping and tear away her dignity.

Just thinking about it makes me realize that right now, my mother is in the dining room of the Lin family villa, having a happy and lively family lunch with her daughter-in-law, grandsons, and granddaughters.

The arrival of Chen Nianlin, this uninvited guest, was indeed somewhat ill-timed.

But that's life; no one knows whether an accident or tomorrow will come first.

Soon, the soft sound of suitcase wheels scraping the floor came from the entrance of the living room on the first floor. Accompanied by the maid's voice leading the way, a slender figure appeared timidly in the entryway.

Sixteen-year-old Chen Nianlin wore a blue and white striped high school uniform, had her hair in a simple ponytail, and dragged a worn-out suitcase. Every step she took seemed to be on cotton, making her appear exceptionally reserved.

Her fingers gripped the suitcase handle so tightly that her knuckles turned white, and her shoulders trembled slightly with tension.

"Master, Madam, Miss Chen has arrived." The maid announced softly before quietly stepping aside.

Chen Nianlin raised her head, her gaze quickly sweeping over the luxurious decorations of the Lin family villa, her eyes filled with helplessness and envy.

When her gaze fell on Lin Lang and Chu Yiren, she shrank back as if she had been burned.

Wearing a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown, Chu Yiren amazed Chen Nianlin. In front of her sister-in-law, whose ancient costume appearance was so beautiful, she felt even more inferior.

Immediately, Shen Nianlin took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and stepped forward, her voice trembling with tears as she greeted, "Brother, sister-in-law, hello!"

Clearly, Chen Nianlin had already looked up Lin Lang and Chu Yiren's information online and seen their online photos.

Lin Lang's heart skipped a beat when he heard the term "brother".

He stared intently at the beautiful girl in front of him; her face, eyebrows, and expression bore a striking resemblance to his own.

Especially her slightly reddened almond-shaped eyes, with a hidden timidity and stubbornness, which seemed to be inherited from her family genes.

Although her graceful figure carried the immaturity of a young girl, it couldn't hide the sense of familiarity deep within her, instantly filling Lin Lang's wavering thoughts with a complex emotion.

Chu Yiren reacted quickly, with a polite yet distant smile on her face, and a gentle yet measured tone: "Hey, you can't just call me that like that, child."

She slowed her speech, trying not to sound too abrupt, "We haven't even confirmed your identity yet, how can you call me brother and sister-in-law right away?"

These words seemed to strike a nerve with Chen Nianlin.

Her already reddened eyes instantly filled with tears, and large teardrops rolled down her cheeks, hitting the gleaming marble floor.

Chen Nianlin had never been inside such a beautiful and luxurious villa before. Everything around her felt unfamiliar and frightening, and Chu Yiren's words made her rush to prove herself.

She crouched down in a panic, her fingers moving erratically from nervousness. It took her a lot of effort to unzip the suitcase and pull out a small box wrapped in layers of handkerchiefs.

She stood up, holding the box, and quickly walked to Lin Lang and Chu Yiren. With slightly trembling hands, she opened the box, revealing several yellowed old photos and a neatly folded letter inside.

“Brother, sister-in-law, these are… these are things that can prove my identity.”

Chen Nianlin's voice choked with sobs, broken and intermittent, yet filled with an undeniable earnestness, "The people in the photo are my mother and... and Uncle Lin."

"And this letter is what my mother wrote to my brother before she died. If you still don't believe me, I can do a DNA test with my brother."

In the photo, young Liu Xiaomei is nestled beside Lin's father with a gentle smile. The two are in a close and natural pose. The background is a Shanghai street scene in the 1990s. Although the picture is a bit blurry, Lin's father's appearance can be clearly identified.

The envelope of that letter was addressed to Lin Lang.
